Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Ooooh
I feel these four walls closing in
Face up against the glass
I'm looking out, hmmm
Is this my life I'm wondering
It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
It's greener pastures I'm thinking about
Hmm, wide open spaces far away
All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but not feel scared
Ooh, wild horses I want to be like you
Throwing caution to the wind, I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love like I'm longing to
I want to run with the wild horses
Run with the wild horses, oh
Yeah, oh oh, ye-yeah
I see the girl I want to be
Riding bare-back, care-free
Along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head-first, head-long
Without a thought
To act and down the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I want to break free
All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear, but not feel scared
Oooh, wild horses I want to be like you
Throwing caution to the wind, I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love like I'm longing to
I want to run with the wild horses
Run with the wild horses, oh
I want to run too
Oooh oh oh oh
Recklessly emboundening myself before you
I want to open up my heart
Tell him how I feel, ooh ooh
Oooh, wild horses I want to be like you
Throwing caution to the wind, I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love like I'm longing to
I want to run with the wild horses
Run with the wild horses
Run with the wild horses
Ooh ooooh ooh ooh ye-yeah yeah oohh
I want to run with the wild horses, ooooh
I feel these four walls closing in
Face up against the glass
I'm looking out, hmmm
Is this my life I'm wondering
It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
It's greener pastures I'm thinking about
Hmm, wide open spaces far away
All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but not feel scared
Ooh, wild horses I want to be like you
Throwing caution to the wind, I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love like I'm longing to
I want to run with the wild horses
Run with the wild horses, oh
Yeah, oh oh, ye-yeah
I see the girl I want to be
Riding bare-back, care-free
Along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head-first, head-long
Without a thought
To act and down the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I want to break free
All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear, but not feel scared
Oooh, wild horses I want to be like you
Throwing caution to the wind, I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love like I'm longing to
I want to run with the wild horses
Run with the wild horses, oh
I want to run too
Oooh oh oh oh
Recklessly emboundening myself before you
I want to open up my heart
Tell him how I feel, ooh ooh
Oooh, wild horses I want to be like you
Throwing caution to the wind, I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love like I'm longing to
I want to run with the wild horses
Run with the wild horses
Run with the wild horses
Ooh ooooh ooh ooh ye-yeah yeah oohh
I want to run with the wild horses, ooooh

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Correct lyrics as follows:
I feel these four walls closing in Face up against the glass Im looking out... hmm Is this my life, I'm wondering It happened so fast How do I turn this thing around Is this the bed I chose to make Its greener pastures I'm thinking about hmm Wide open spaces far away
All I want is the wind in my hair To face the fear but not feel scared
[Chorus:] Wild horses I wanna be like you Throwing caution to the wind I run free too Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing too Run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses Oh yeah yeah ooh
I see the girl I wanna be Riding bare back, carefree along the shore If only that someone was me Jumping head first headlong without a thought To act and damn the consequence How I wish it could be that easy But fear surrounds me like a fence I wanna break free
All I want is the wind in my hair To face the fear but not feel scared
[Chorus:] Wild horses I want to be like you Throwing caution to the wind I run free too Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing too I run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses Oh
I wanna run too Oh woah
Recklessly abandoning myself before you I wanna open up my heart, tell him how I feel
[Chorus:] Oh Wild horses I want to be like you Throwing caution to the wind I run free too Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing too I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses [X2] Oh woah Yeah
I wanna run with the wild horses
To me this song means just letting go of the stress of life and just having fun and being free. but in another view point, in the song she says," I wanna open up my heart, tell him how I feel," so it could have something to do with a relationship, so this song could have various meanings.
not really a comment on the meaning of the song... but there's a bonus track of some sort later in this particular track... anyone knows the title?
The title of the hidden track is Sojurn.
This is a really pretty song. I think the meaning is about how she wants to break free and she wishes she could just run in the wind forever. Yes a little cheesey but VERY pretty.
I think that this song is about feeling overwhelmed with all the responsibilities in her life. She is saying that she has to many things to needs to take care off, and it is gettin stressful. She is saying that she wants to be free of all these burdens, she wishes that she could just "run with the wild horses" who have no responsibilities in life. She just wants to escape from the world.
i love this song. this song helped me get through the shittest times of my life. the first few chords before she starts singing just get under my skin.
I love this song. I think it's about a girl who found herself giving up love for a life that's more 'stable' and that won't have as many risks. But deep down she still loves the man she is talking about, and she wishes she could be brave enough to face her fear for her love, though it could hurt her badly.
The song gives me story ideas. And I do love horses too, so it's one of my favorites.
((btw LOL Someusername, I agree))
i think that this song means that she is feeling that she is wasting her llife. she feels that she wants to be a horse because they don't have to worry about anything. she wants to be free of the life that she is living
torance 21 or whatever we no the sing lyrics and i dont believe that this song is about wanting 2 express her feelings 2 her "beloved" but i could be wrong
